RE: Identifying passion for security?

["Don Parker" <dparker () bridonsecurity com>]

Hello Andy,

Long time no type as it were :-) I would have to say ask them what they are
presently studying/learing to expand their skillset. That to me speaks
volumes. If they are not studying or learning anything, then they really are
not all that passionate about their trade. 

Hasta luego,

Senor Don

Subject: Identifying passion for security?

Evening,
Showing my age I'm finding it increasingly difficult to find security geeks
who 
are truly passionate about security.  There seems to be a recent trend in 
unpassionate people chasing either the money, an easy ride or something that

isn't as dull as network or system administration. 
So how would you identify passion quickly, personally I like what cons have
you 
been to? If they are passionate but poor they would reply none but I'd like 
to ....  What books have they bought,    what tools do they use    what
sites 
do they visit      email them at night and see how long it takes them to
reply

what else?
